Rainy gloomy and cold, as was the norm on our first vacation to Jasper. Had to wait for a good 5 minutes in the rain for people to not be on the bridge, as every foot step shook the bridge, so my timer/tripod was no good til I had that stillness. As the last person walked off the bridge and into the trees ahead, I had a solid 20 seconds or so before the people behind me would be on the bridge, so I quickly setup in the middle, and shot away!
The Louvre Pyramid is a large glass and metal pyramid, surrounded by three smaller pyramids, in the main courtyard (Cour Napoléon) of the Louvre Palace in Paris.
This photo was captured during my holiday in cairo on early March09.
The location was clearly at Giza,Cairo.There are 3 main pyramid at Giza and this one called Pyramid of Khafre,the second largest of the Ancient Egyptian Pyramids of Giza and the tomb of the fourth-dynasty pharaoh Khafre (Chephren).
The pyramid has a base length of 215.25 m (706 ft) and originally rises to a height of 143.5 m (471 ft). The Pyramid is made of Limestone blocks (weighing more than 2 tons each). The slope of the pyramid rises at an 53° 10' angle, steeper than its neighbor Khufu’s pyramid which has an angle of 51°50'40". The pyramid sits on bedrock 10 m (33 ft) higher than Khufu’s pyramid which makes it appear to be taller.

The field was full of orchids and other flowers. This one was away from where I was mainly looking for the fritillaries and gave a clear view.
I myself was extremely astonished with the majestic beauty of the pyramid. I asked the guide about the shape of the pyramid-- triangle. According to her the shape represents the RAYS of the sun. To better explain the shape of the pyramid, God graciously sent beautiful clouds and weather when we visited the pyramids of Khufu. From the photo above I could figure out the rays are indeed similar to the shape of the pyramid:)
The pyramid remained the tallest man-made structure in the world for over 3,800 years. Pyramids were believed not built by slaves. The vast and fertile land along the Nile River provided enough agricultural land and livestock for the Egyptians. So, therefore when planting and harvest time were over they busied themselves by building temples and pyramids.
